MELAKA, Nov 14 — A three-way contest featuring a former aide to the Melaka chief minister, a silat instructor and a former university information technology chief could be adding to the excitement in Serkam, which recorded the highest voter turnout among the state’s 28 constituencies today.
The Election Commission’s (EC) real-time Voter Turnout Monitoring dashboard showed that over 51 per cent of registered voters in N. 26 Serkam had cast their ballots as of 1pm, especially when contrasted against N. 22 Bandar Hilir’s 38.5 per cent.
The constituency had been leading the turnout the whole morning and the numbers are climbing fast.
The keen interest in Serkam comes amid a closely watched three-cornered contest between Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Datuk Azman Abdullah, Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) Muhammad Faiq Azman and Parti Bersama Malaysia’s (Bersama) Muhamad Saffie Md Yasan.
